Now in the ninth year, Equipment World’s Contractor’s Dream Package sweepstakes is the only program of its kind as a way for sponsors to promote their products in addition to traditional print advertising. For the past nine years, a lucky contractor such as Cathy Lothes wins top-of-the line equipment to add to their feet, and Equipment World accomplishes its goal of serving its readers and advertisers.
“This is absolutely one of the most rewarding things we do each year. We are grateful to our sponsors who have made this such a great program,” said Gregg Terry, publisher of Equipment World.
